WASHINGTON, May IS.-Chairman
Cooley, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in letter TO j. Hauley,
Traffic Manager of the Minnesota and
Northwestern Railway, who had asked
suspension of the long and short haul
clause, in its application to certain points
on his line, presents new and important
points as TO the duties and
powers of the Commission under the
law as follows: 1t is obvious that the
cases the law contemplates, in which
the commission is authorized to make
orders for suspension are in exceptional
cases. 1t does not state the grounds
that shall warrant relief, but it plainly
intends these grounds in every case
shall be special and peculiar; that where
only general reasons operate the gen.
eral law shall be left to its or.
dinary course however serious may
be the consequence in particular cases,
and to particular roads and interests. 1t
also made it plain by the act that any
order for suspension was intended to be
based upon Investigation which should
satisfy the commission that the case was
in fact exceptionable and fairly within
the extent OF the provision made for re-
lief by the jurisdiction of the commits

PACIFIC RAILWAYS.
what Jay Gould Has TO Say
About These Matters.

New YORK, May lS.-The Pacific
Railway Committee continued it's inves
tigation. The examination of Jay
Gould was continued. Commissioner
Anderson desired to know whether il
was more TO the advantage of the Con.
solidated Company to have the Kansas
Pacific redeem Denver Pacific bonds in
stead OF the trustees Of the Consolidated
mortgage. Gould said the Consolidated
Company would not make new bonds
and throw it into an outside trust, and
the scheme agreed upon was
the only one that could have been made
to benefit the Company. Not an in.
dividual made cent out OF this transac
tion in Denver Pacific stock, and am
very glad of an opportunity to put a
final nail in that coffin. Gould contn-
ued: my associates on the Union Pa
cific became alarmed within month
after my Missouri Pacific purchase, and
came on to bind me to consolidation. I
signed a paper agreeing TO it between
the time of my resignation as director of
the Union Pacific, January 10, $780,"
Gould felt consolidation to be great
detriment to his interests. The extern
sion of the Missouri Pacific to Denver
and San Francisco, as he contemplated,
would have destroyed the Union Pacific.
lie had often thought of the rights of
the government, but after the passage OF
the Thurman bill he thought the govern
ment was trying to squeeze more out of
the turnip than there was in it. His
plan then was to build road from Oma-
ha to Ogden, just outside the right of
way, for fifteen million dollars. With
reference to the governments claim, he
made an offer before the Judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate to pay the entire
claim in cash at its present worth. Sid.
ney Dillon was with him when the offer
was made. Anderson questioned this,
but Gould reiterated the statement, and
said the comnittee took no action, claim
ing that his competitors were incorrect,
and that the interest did not mature
without the bond. Gould then related
the circumstances of his resignation as a
director, giving as his reason for the
resignation that he did not think il
proper for him to hold such a position
while obliged to enter into such heavy
transactions as an individual.
